A lot of bad things could happen. For example, the hacker could gain access to personal information like credit-card numbers, social security numbers, etc. You could also get a number of viruses that could render your computer unusable. If you really think your computer has been hacked, you should take it to a repair shop immediately.
This is very rare however, it's more likely that you just have a virus on your computer and it is extracting information from your hard-drive. A hacker is someone who actively take information from your computer and they can be taken to jail for doing so.
